International Summer Programs

Summer Intensive English Institute

Session I: July 13–July 31, 2026
Session II: August 3–August 21, 2026

International students excel in our summer Intensive English Institute classes, designed to quickly improve students’ English skills. Classes meet from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday. 

Students begin with comprehensive placement tests. Test results are then used to place each student in the appropriate levels for phonics, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, speech, and TOEFL preparation. Students work in small groups, receiving personal attention from the teachers at Fairfax Christian School. Students may also attend weekly educational field trips to popular sites in Washington, D.C., and the area.

Students should arrive on a Sunday before classes begin and plan to leave on a Saturday after their classes end.

Homestay placement with our U.S. families is available to students age 13 and older. Younger students may stay with their parents, family members, or assigned guardians at local accommodations near the school campus.

Students who attend both three-week sessions and complete their work will receive a semester of high school English credit from the Fairfax Christian School.

  • Tuition: $2000 for students age 9 and up.

  • Accommodations: $ 1,600 for homestay (ages 13 and up), weekend excursions, school transportation, and airport pick-up and drop-off.
